Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City has announced that all patients admitted after the horrific shooting during the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade on Wednesday have now been discharged.
A mother of two was killed and 22 people were injured by gunfire Wednesday afternoon when shots erupted amid the crowd of fans gathered at a rally outside Union Station after a parade through the city.
the police said a fight may have led to the shooting, which occurred despite the presence of more than 800 police officers.
Police Chief Stacey Graves said Thursday that the victims ranged in age from 8 to 47, with half of them under the age of 16. Eleven children were taken to Children’s Mercy Hospital, nine with gunshot wounds, an official said.
All but one of the children had been released on Friday, but that last victim has now also been discharged.

It was announced Friday that two teenagers have been charged as juveniles, despite a prosecutor previously saying they would be charged as adults.
The suspects, who have still not been identified by authorities, are charged with weapons-related crimes and resisting arrest, according to the Jackson County Family Court division.
A third juvenile initially believed to be involved has since been determined not to be related to the shooting and was released.
The slain woman was identified by radio station KKFI-FM as Lisa Lopez-Galvan, host of “Taste of Tejano.”
Lopez-Galvan, whose DJ name was “Lisa G,” was an outgoing and devoted mother from a prominent Latino family in the area, said Rosa Izurieta and Martha Ramirez, two childhood friends who worked with her at a temporary employment agency.
Taylor Swift, who is dating Chiefs Travis Kelce, donated $100,000 to Lopez-Galvan’s family through GoFundMe campaigns.
Kansas City has long struggled with gun violence and was one of nine cities targeted by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2020 in an effort to crack down on violent crime. In 2023, the city tied a record with 182 homicides, most of which involved firearms.
